The oELRicHs AeAITClR.
The following circular has recently
been issued by the Oelrichs Abattoir
company, giving an outline of the
intentions of the company: Last
year the undersigned (Oe!rlcls Abat-
toir Coy shipped over 5000 beeves from
their herds. After sending all fat
cattle to Chicago and Omaha, having
only the taiiings left, it was noticed
that while we were still sending uur
prime beevcs east, 'hcrc were ii few.
carloads of fat cattle coming vast
This paradox was investigated with The
result that several butchers came here
thereafter and bought their beevcs from
us. 1t was found that these cattle had
been advertised as the best cattle ever
cut up in the Black Hills, and though
they were only the tailings Of ii large
herd they brought the producer more
money in hand than the fine, large
beeves sold in Omaha and Chicago. 1t
was clearly shown that the people Of
the Black Hills, situated in the heart
Of a great cattle growing country were
paying higher prices for meats and
getting poorer stuff than any other
people in the United States.
1t was found that between twenty
and thirty slaughter houses We're then
in operation in the Hills, and each n
worked on such IL small scale that but
little of the waste could lie saved except
perhaps, the hides; that twenty OF
thirty butchers were employed at t!iose
different slaughter houses: that each
establishment had a man ont rustling
their next fortnight supply Of becvcS,
sheep, hogs and calves; that when this
stock was brought in j. was fed on hay
which ranged in price from Sl5to SliU
per ton, and corr that cost never less
than II cents per pound; that the pork
furnished was principally fed on refuse
Of the slaughter house: that all beef
was either driven. OF shipped Ivy rail
after driven, naturally causing what
butchers call fever; that all waste was
literally waste.
On these facts a company has been
organized to he known as the Oelrichs
Abattoir CO., and are now erecting a
plant at their present headquarters.
